A Rare Case of Early Visualization of Foregut Duplication Cyst in Meckel Scan.

Abstract

Enteric duplications are rare congenital anomalies, which can have varying presentations depending on the size, location, and type of mucosa present. Meckel scan, using technetium-^99m pertechnetate (Tc-^99m pertechnetate), is a useful modality for the detection of ectopic functioning gastric mucosa. Thoracic duplication cysts present as the initial photopenic area which is getting filled by Tc-^99m pertechnetate in the delayed static images of Meckel scan. We report a rare case of foregut duplication cyst, where foregut duplication cyst is visualized earlier in Meckel scan.
